Spring Cleaning at the Old Jail Museum Complex

This is a busy time of year for SSCHS volunteers. As spring approaches, it's time for cleaning and re-organizing. The 2010 displays are removed, catalogued and placed in storage. The museum buildings and grounds are cleaned and the new exhibits are developed and displayed. Today's focus was the Redwine Pioneer School. Pictures of historic schools and students have been removed and are being refurbished and reframed. A dehumidifier was installed to prevent deterioration of the building and its contents.

The 2011 season begins May 5. We hope you'll stop by and see the new exhibits.
